The Magic Behind the Lens: Real Stories About Photography, Motherhood, & Business Ownership

Hey, I'm Kelsey, your Irvine-based photographer with a heart for storytelling and a camera that thrives on real moments. This blog is your one-stop shop for a peek behind the lens – we'll dive into the chaos of motherhood, explore the creative spark that fuels my photography business, and dish on life of running a small business.

So, grab a cup of coffee (because, let's be real, parenthood is fueled by caffeine!), settle in, and get ready for a dose of real talk, photography inspiration, and a glimpse into the magic that unfolds behind the lens at Captured Forever Photography.
